Abstract:
Dermal fillers remain popular for facial rejuvenation but with its increasing use, the potential for more complications including blindness is present. This article focuses on the mechanism of filler-associated blindness, possible treatments, and future directions. Unfortunately, to date there is no proven treatment to reverse filler-induced blindness or visual compromise. It is essential for all injectors to discuss the potential ocular risks including blindness with their patients and obtain informed consent before filler injection.
